商品描述

Briefly, the book is the story of adventure from the Texas Plains city of Amarillo with a dream to fly for the Air Force. It led to action with the Strategic Air Command during the Cold War and eventually to NASA's planetary exploration program, opening the solar system's mysteries beyond the Moon.

Highlights include a love story, the joys and risks of flying, closing the Cold War missile gap, why the United States did not fly a spacecraft to Halley's Comet in 1986, and leading NASA's project Stardust to capture and return to Earth dust particles from comet Wild 2 plus actual star dust from an interstellar flow across the solar system.

The adventure was imbedded in a journey of faith's role and consistency with discoveries about the Cosmos.
